RE: Changing temperatures in Antarctica could lead to population loss of over 70 % for the King penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus), putting them at serious risk for the future

in #nature7 years ago

yeah @valth i read out the article about King penguins 2 days ago
on a very serious note, it is just because of the effect of global warming.
Global warming is a worth serious issue and we do nothing :(. These species are so important we have to do somthing.
According to NewYork time
Rising temperatures and overfishing in the pristine waters around the Antarctic could see king penguin populations pushed to the brink of extinction by the end of the century.
“If no actions aiming at halting or controlling global warming, and the pace of the current human-induced changes – climate change, overfishing – stay the same, the species may disappear in the near future.”

Yep, it's time to step up and change our behavior to stop the changing climate. If we keep stalling, then it might be too late before we get there.
